Promotions Courses Camp
We are looking forward to welcoming our new leadership candidates on our Promotions Courses Camp next week at Winbourne Conference Centre in Mulgoa.
This is always an important week in the Cadet Calendar, as our dedicated and motivated young men and women learn the skills they need to practise and refine their leadership of the Unit over the coming Cadet Year. It also provides the chance to re-establish the high standards and expectations needed to model for our new recruits starting in Term 3.
A big thank you to our Cadet staff for their dedication in developing our new young leaders on the Promotions Courses Camp over the school holidays.
Commanding Officer’s Parade
The new Cadet Year starts in Term 3 with the Commanding Officer’s Parade on Friday, 21 July 2023. At this parade, we welcome our new recruits and introduce them to their Section Commanders, Platoon Sergeants and Company Commanders. They will get to know the new friends in their platoons and be guided on how to wear the DPCU uniform.
